Distribution of goods takes place by means of channels, and the intermediaries are the independent groups or organizations within the channel that make the product available for consumption. There are four main types of intermediary: agents, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers.
Ms. Sue
OK. UPW and RW are distributors. What do they have to do with the new breed of channel intermediaries?

Yes. The manufacturers/wholesalers hire FedEx, Roadway, UPS, and other haulers to get their products to the retailer. The transportation companies are part of the distribution system.
